I have a little bit of magic for you today, something peanut-buttery, Chocolatley, Crunchy, fluffy in your mouth, and perfectly healthy and clean at the same time. Can you guess what it is? There, I got ya! You don’t even have a clue, but the answer is my newest creation, Peanut-Butter Chocolate Crunch Popcorn, so decadent, so sweet, so tasty, you wouldn’t even guess that it is sugar-free, preservative-free, all natural, 100% clean, and super-duper simple to make, now that’s magic!

Peanut Butter Chocolate Crunch Popcorn

8 cups freshly popped plain popcorn

2 Tbsp. coconut oil

2 Tbsp. peanut butter

2 Tbsp. slivered almonds

Chocolate drizzle

1 Tbsp. coconut oil

1 Tbsp. cocoa powder

1/2 Tbsp. honey

Melt coconut oil and peanut butter in microwave for about 30 seconds, or until fully melted.

Mix peanut butter mixture and almonds into popcorn. Mix thoroughly, or until each piece is evenly coated.

For the chocolate sauce, melt coconut oil in microwave for about 30 seconds, or until fully melted. Stir in cocoa powder and honey.

It’s officially the pumpkin season and you all know what that means, pumpkin-flavored everything! Woo-hoo! I just love pumpkin, I just don’t actually eat it in fall though, I literally have it all year round! What’s not to love about this versatile and delicious squash!? It can be added to virtually almost every type of dish: oatmeal, pancakes, yogurt, chili, pie, wraps,lasagna, you name it, and there is a pumpkin version. Packaged granola bars seem really easy and convenient, but most of the time you are actually doing yourself, and your body a disservice when buying them! First of all they can be uber expensive, loaded with sugar and preservatives, and can be heavily processed. On average, a granola bar typically can cost 75 cents or more per bar, doesn’t sound like much, but when you are buying 12, it really adds up. The good news is that you can make your own for dirt cheap! Plus these ones are pumpkin filled!!! These granola bars taste like fall, cinnamon, crunchy pecans and pumpkin, and such a quick and easy grab-and-go snack or quick breakfast!

Cinnamon-Pecan Pumpkin Granola Bars

2 cups dry oats

2 ripe bananas, mashed

3 tbsp sliced almonds

2 tbsp sunflower seeds

2 tbsp pumpkin puree

2 tbsp maple syrup

1 tsp cinnamon

10 whole pecans

1. In a large bowl, mix everything together except pecans, mix until thoroughly combined

2. Spray some cooking spray in a jelly roll pan and place oven at 350 degrees

3. Spread mixture evenly in the pan and press one pecan where each granola bar will be cut after baked

I think I just made the BEST GRANOLA KNOWN TO MAN-KIND (not to be cocky or anything)! But seriously, chocolate + peanut butter +banana = HEAVEN! Plus its super easy, why buy granola from the supermarket again when you can make your own with ingredients already on hand? You can save some money and also all that added sugar and fat that comes along with it! This is a win-win situation. Do yourself a favor and make this NOW!

Super Easy Vegan Chocolate Banana Peanut Butter Granola

2 cups oats

2 ripe bananas, mashed

2 Tbsp. creamy natural peanut butter

2 Tbsp. cocoa powder

2 Tbsp. sunflower seeds

1/4 tsp. cinnamon

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Line a cooking sheet with parchment paper and spread oats onto it. Bake them for about 10 minutes, or until they are lightly toasted.

Mix remaining ingredients in a bowl. Pour onto oats and mix until oats are fully coated.

Spread out on baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes, or until oats are crunchy.

So today my goal was to make coconut tortillas, but that FAILED. It was my first time working with coconut flour so I didn’t really know how the texture was. It is super-fine, so the tortilla dough was all crumbly. That was clearly not going to work so I put my thinking cap on and came up with these babies. They say when one door closes another door opens! And I think this is even better than what I originally wanted to make!

Vegan Chocolate-Strawberry and Hazelnut Tarts with Coconut Crust

1/3 cup hazelnuts (without skin)

1/4 cup sliced strawberries

1 1/2 Tbsp. coconut oil

2 Tbsp. cocoa powder

2 tsp. maple syrup

Crust

1/2 coconut flour

1 1/2 Tbsp. coconut oil, melted

1/4 cup warm water

3 Tbsp. egg whites, beaten

2 Tbsp. shredded unsweetened coconut

1/4 tsp. cinnamon

1/2 Tbsp. honey

To make the crust, place all ingredients in a medium-sized bowl and mix until it resembles a dough (will be crumbly).

Spray five ramekins with cooking spray and press dough to bottom.

Bake the crusts at 350 °F for about 25 minutes, or until slightly brown.

While crusts are baking, add remaining ingredients to a food processor and mix until mixture is a smooth puree.

Let the crusts cool for about 15 minutes before topping them with chocolate-strawberry and hazelnut puree.
